*Adding Theme Music To My Trailer

I wanted something that was creepy but along the lines of clown/carnival themed. After searching on YouTube for about an hour I found the perfect piece of music that would fit the storyline! I want to use this in my film trailer as the backing. So I downloaded this from the internet and opened it into Windows Movie Maker and added it into the 'Audio' section on my Movie Timeline.


The beginning part of the song starts with slow chilling chimes that sounds like the noise a jack in the box makes/ that sound links to a clown. It’s very disturbing and then after the little chorus has played on its own, lots of noise builds in with it. The song fastens up and a beat is added to it – in the style of a heart beat. Low strings are then added to make it strange and heavy. The same little theme song high pitched is playing underneath. That little theme then changes instruments and pitch to give it some variety; meanwhile it starts to fasten up and builds up the pace. There is then a part where there are scratchy uneven sounds along with sounds of ghosts whining and moaning. The music is still eerie and gives off a sense of mysteriousness. It makes you feel as though you wouldn’t want to listen to that music in a house on your own as it makes the hairs on my spine stand up! The music then really builds up towards the end with lots of heavy instruments which get your heart racing. There are a lot of off-key sounds throughout which makes it scary and uneasy, which all results back to the beginning chimes to finish it off.
